    Description

    This course introduces students to the fundamentals of literature through an examination
    of poetry, fiction, and drama. The course will focus on literary elements and how those
    elements create meaning in specific genres. Further, students will examine how literature
    reflects and illuminates the human experience through close reading and analysis of texts
    within their historical and cultural contexts.

    the four following criteria: 40% of overall course grade is based on formalized writing
    assignments, writing instruction is part of the course, drafts of writing assignments are required,
    and feedback is given on formal elements of writing.
    Prerequisites: ENG101, ENG102, ENG108, or ENG109
